The pancreas is a digestive and endocrine organ of the human body and has an important role in secreting pancreatic juice, protease, lipase and many other enzymes. In addition, the pancreas contains pancreatic islets, which can secrete insulin to regulate blood glucose, and has an endocrine function.
The pancreas is located in the upper abdomen, behind the stomach, and is divided into four parts: head, neck, body, and tail, of which, the head and neck are located in the right upper abdomen, and the body and tail of the pancreas are located in the left upper abdomen.
The pancreas is a long and narrow gland, about 15 centimeters long. The pancreas is located deeper, so lesions are not easily detected in the early stages, and can be detected by ultrasonography or CT examination.
